Still No Luck

Still trying to figure out how to get my game lobby to run with Ubuntu but still no luck.
I have the Wine program that should run it but it refuses to accept Java so I am out of luck there.
Looking more and more like I am going to have to figure out how to run VirtualBox and run Linux and Windows XP at the same time, same place.
Something has got to give, eventually.

At least my computer is working good so I really should not complain :)

Ten Point Ten

Spent a little over an hour upgrading my Ubuntu from 4.10 to 10.10. Lots of files in Ubuntu, I can tell you that.
I tried quickly to get Java installed into the Wine program but it didn't work. Looks like I need to do some more research as well as some tweaking. I hope I don't tweak Ubuntu into oblivion. I hate to tweak these days.
Years ago I sat for endless hours doing programming. These days I no longer have the patience, the desire or the energy. Or, I hate to admit, the eyesight.

Easy, My Foot

I've been working on using my Ubuntu program for a while now and I really do like it. It makes most things I do online so much faster than XP ever could. For instance I can take care of three Zynga Cafe Worlds as fast as I used to do one on XP. What a great time saver!
Unfortunately for me Ubuntu is not Java friendly. The game site where I moderate chat is a Java program of some sort and will not run on Ubuntu. I did find some instructions from one of the players on how they got theirs to work with Linux and I have followed their instructions but it refuses to run the Java program so that another program can simulate Windows.
Supposed to be super easy. Sure, until I try it. *sigh* So I have done the next best thing. I have asked two people that are Linux users of a long time how to get Java into Wine.
Sounds kind of silly, Java into Wine. I mean, who would want coffee in their wine or vice-versa? LOL

Got Wine?

For years, doctors have said that drinking wine is good for your body, helps promote good blood and all kinds of things like that. Of course, they are not promoting that people go out and become winos or anything of that nature, but they say a glass of wine per day is healthy. And, many fine restaurants serve wine with their expensive dinners, so I think it's safe to assume that your one glass per day should probably be at dinner time.
But, what if you're not an expert at wine selection, then what? Well you can get some help by joining the wine of the month club.
They will send you two bottles of wine per month, and these are not just ordinary wines either. The wines they feature in each of their four wine clubs have earned top medals at the major wine competitions or have been highly rated by a national wine publication. So, you can look like an expert without actually being one. Serve these wines to your dinner guests and keep that secret to yourself.
According to their website, There are no wine club sign up fees, no monthly dues, no minimum obligation. You may cancel at any time for any reason. And they have three different categories to let you choose what is best for you and your pocketbook. So, click on the link above and start enjoying a great glass of wine and becoming healthier.
